What's a 'normal' amount to spend on your BM's gifts? Besides their DOJ I wanted to pay a portion of my girls hair/makeup instead of getting them something they'll never use again. But I also like the idea of a comfy warm personalized robe to get ready in the morning of. I just don't want to spend too much or too little.

I did cosmetic cases that I filled with sephora makeup (it was like a lip kit and an eye kit. The lip one had 4 or 5 lip glosses and the eye one had a mini mascara and 3 eyeliners). Then I got them bracelets and earrings for the day of and hangers with their names.
I think I might get them one other small thing, like maybe $15 DD gift cards or something. The gift size depends on the size of your bridal party though. I didn't go too crazy on gifts for them (I think I spent around $50 each, or $65 including the gift cards) because I have 8 girls. If you only have 4 girls or a small group like that, the gift should be a little larger because they will end up spending more on your bachelorette and shower

My sister got us all picture frames with pics of her with each bridesmaid. I also thought gift cards to each person's favorite store is a good idea too.
I've also gotten a bottle of my favorite wine from a bride. It is nice to get something personalized from the bride because it makes you feel like she really thought about what you would like.
If you know of things that each bridesmaid loves, you should totally do personalized gift bags for each girl :)

I dont think there is a set number but I ended up spending close to $100 on each BM. DH took care of the groomsmen. Spend what you want.

I am getting them each a necklace to wear the day of, a small clutch for the day of (with Victoria's Secret lotion/lip gloss I got on sale for like $2 each) and I am paying for half of their makeup.

I got my BMs DOJ, personalized Bridesmaid T-shirts, tote bags, Victoria's Secret body spray and paid for their makeup. But it's really up to you on the amount of money you want to spend.

I paid for my girls hair and makeup, and got them the DOJ, pashmina wraps, and personalized flasks.

At this point I feel like I'm going to just keep on buying things as I see them and then freak out later about how much I end up spending! LOL

I'll probably do the same thing! I have a few things in mind, but around $100-$120 a girl. I have a large bridal party so we'll see what my funds are like!
